Phoenix, AZ (Top40 Charts/ Mega Man Official Website) After recently wrapping up a massive 44-city tour with MC Chris and MC Lars,Hip Hop artist and educator
Random returns to the past for a final time for another Mega Ran project, this one based on the new Capcom game Mega Man 10.
The album, Mega Ran 10, samples and interpolates tunes from the soundtrack of the top selling game and transforms them into all new Hip-Hop, rock and dance tunes. Ran is quick to point out that this is not a direct sequel to the previous titles.
"I planned on putting out a song every few months, and soon I had an album's worth of material on my hands. I've been asked by fans to finish the album and release it, so finally, I agreed."
After accomplishing the impossible with an official license and co-sign from Capcom USA, Random's last few Mega Man based albums, "Mega Ran" (2007) and "Mega Ran 9" (2009) have landed Ran in major publications from Nintendo Power to Playstation: The Official Magazine.
The album will feature production from Random, DN3, K-Murdock and newcomer Derrick Canton. Guest artists include Open Mike Eagle, Beefy, Phill Harmonix and more.
The sad news? This is Random's final Mega Man tribute album. "It's been a great run," Ran says. "I'd never want to keep doing something to the point that it becomes expected of me. I'll always love the Blue Bomber, and I think my catalog proves it." He and executive producer K-Murdock will be taking their talents to the Land of the Rising Sun for a week of touring December 7 to 13.
Get the album on 11.11.11 at megaranmusic.com through digital download, CD or limited edition "Blue Bomber" vinyl.
